    target one or more of these steps in order to be effective. The first step is biosynthesis, which is when the presynaptic cell synthesizes neurotransmitters when a precursor interacts with an enzyme. For example, when the precursor tyrosine interacts with the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, it becomes L-Dopa, and when that precursor interacts with the enzyme DOPA decarboxylase, the outcome is dopamine. Then, the second step is storage. This is when the neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles,…

    Variability in effectiveness and side effects of certain medical interventions among patients is well accepted. Indeed most doctors would agree that a “cookie-cutter approach” to medicine is not best practice and a more concrete approach that offers some predictability about which patients are more or less likely to benefit from an intervention is favored. Precision medicine offers such an approach. Briefly precision medicine involves factoring in individual variability in genes, environment and…

    1. Given the following amino acids, explain where they would be found in the tertiary structure of a protein and WHY (lack of explanation/incorrect explanations will NOT receive full credit; assume living system of pH = 7.4). Arg Phe Pro Glu His Ala Tyr Val Cys Arginine: This is a charged amino acid that is extremely hydrophilic. It is hydrophilic because while it has an aliphatic side chain that is hydrophobic, it also has two groups where a positive charge resonates between the two…

    plays an important role in regulation of key enzyme activities and signal transduction networks. Tyrosine is one of the 21 amino acids and is important in the synthesis of certain hormones. Nitration of tyrosine can affect protein function, which can in turn link nitroxidative stress to alterations of molecules present in disease (Peluffo et al. 2007). Potential activation of proteins, specifically tyrosine, can have a significant impact on the pathology of cardiovascular disease. Because of…

    inability to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine. The disease can cause Mental health issues as well as others because of the excess of phenylalanine in the body. When phenylalanine is not broken down and turned in a different amino acid, called tyrosine, it can create other enzyme routes that build up in the bloodstream and in body tissue. This is EXTREMLY harmful to both the body and the development of it. This disease is caused by missing enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, an…

    The etiology and pathogenesis of RA are complex and multifaceted. A range of predetermined (genes) and stochastic (random events and environment) factors contribute to susceptibility and pathogenesis.(kelly). The initiation of RA probably begins years before the onset of clinical symptoms. This process involves certain specific genes that can help break tolerance and lead to autoreactivity. It is likely that the earliest phases are marked by repeated activation of innate immunity Cigarette smoke…

    QUESTION No 1 How eggs and sperms are produced? Explain in detail the mechanism of fusion of Egg and sperm in human? ANSWER: Gametogenesis is the formation of the sex cells in multicellular eukaryotes. The word Gameto mean the gametes and genesis for formation of . Gametes typically come in male (sperm) and female (eggs). In human , the process involves two specialized cell divisions. The purpose is to create a haploid cell able to be well-suited with another haploid cell. Sperms is formed…

    glucose-1-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase. UDP-glucose phosphorylase enzyme catalyses the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate into UDP-glucose. Two phosphate molecules are formed when pyrophosphate is later hydrolysed by pyrophosphatase. The tyrosine residue the subunits of glycogenin act as anchors for the reducing end of glycogen. To this, eight UDP-glucose molecules are added, forming α(1 → 4) bonds, till a chain of eight glucose monomers is formed. Glycogen synthase then binds to…
